[QUOTE="novatech, post: 907744, member: 5494"] It would be nice if I could get enough greens to get the proper temps. Unfortunately most of what I get is brown. People always talk about fertilizer hurting the microbes. Well nitrogen has an impact but when applied in moderation or several small doses rather than all at one time they will come back pretty quick. Secondly fruiting veggies don't need much, only the greens. I cannot see where the P and K would do much harm,but then again compost will supply more than enough. I also agree that using a cover crop is beneficial to good soil health. Some of the microbes (example; mycorrhizal fungus Glomus) form a symbiotic relationship with the plants. They do not use or benefit from compost but need living plants to survive. A good microbial system makes fertilizer work better therefore as you stated less is needed. [/QUOTE]
